I was a part time care giver for and elderly client for over five years. Her family moved her twice to different states in the past year trying to find the best place for her to be. As a widow her former sister in law being elderly herself convinced her to separate all her financials from her son, and sign a medical power of attorney over to her, and a secondary her daughter( in which her daughter is mentally slow). Now less than a month of getting her into her own apartment, has suggested she move into a nursing home, and continues to tell her she cannot be alone. She does have problems performing some physical duties, but has had help come in to assist in the past, and does not feel that she needs twenty four hour assistance. She just now disclosed to me that she was taken to a Doctor that with minimal examination decided she needs to have help fulltime. What can I do to help her.
But seriously, if you think something really wrong is going on, you always have the option to contact adult protective services. Just make sure you have a real flavor for how things are really going and aren't missing important information.
